Dataship is cloud storage I built because I was tired of Google's 15 GB ceiling and the creeping sense that every file I uploaded was funding a targeting algorithm. Here's what's different: Every file is AES-256-GCM encrypted on your device before upload. The storage layer sees ciphertext only. 30 GB free, no credit card, no trial period. 100 GB for ₹49/month — Google One charges ₹130 for the same. No upsells mid-flow, no "your storage is almost full, upgrade now" anxiety engineering.
I hit Google Drive's 15 GB ceiling with a mix of documents, project files, and phone backups I didn't want to delete. The upgrade was ₹130/month for 100 GB. I kept dismissing the prompt until I got tired enough to just build something instead.
That was about a year ago. Here's where it landed.
The storage math:
Free: 30 GB, forever, no card required
Pro: 100 GB for ₹60/month (Google One charges ₹130 for the same)
Ultra: 500 GB for ₹149/month
How the encryption works, plainly:
Every file is AES-256-GCM encrypted on your device before it leaves your browser. The storage infrastructure that holds your files only ever sees ciphertext, it cannot read them. Dataship holds the key, which is what lets us stream and preview files for you when you want them. The decryption happens in transit, for your request, and the plaintext is never retained or logged. If you want the full technical and legal specifics, they're in the Terms and Privacy Policy, written in plain English, not legalese.
What I spent the longest time on: The encryption logic itself. Per-file keys derived via HKDF-SHA256. Getting that right without silently corrupting files was the longest single rabbit hole. After that, streaming large encrypted files to you without loading them fully into memory. Billing was the third hard part, grace periods, downgrade scheduling, webhook reconciliation. It's always more complex than it looks. And the pipeline for streaming/downloading files was a genuine struggle.
What Dataship is honest about not being: The fastest cloud. It's on the landing page, not in the fine print.
What I'd love your feedback on: Does the pricing feel credible, or does ₹60 for 100 GB make you suspicious rather than interested? And does the "Honest" positioning read as genuine or just another brand word?
Free plan is genuinely free, genuinely no card. Happy to answer anything.
